Wanted q White Horse.

Mr.. Mo CosgroVe wants to buy a
white horse, and some friends of his told
him that Mr.. Frank Britain had one.
He sent repeatedly to Mr.. B. to show
him the horse. Yesterday Mr.. B. re-
sponded, and, getting in Mr.. COsgrove's
buggy, took him down to Paul Wagner's
store and getting out, let Mr.. c. .remain
in the buggy in the hot sun for quite
awhile, while: he went in and let Mr..
Wagner into the joke. Then they re-
turned to the front of the store and told
Mr.. c. they had a good family horse
which any child could play with. 1t
would not kick, bite or runaway and
was perfectly gentle. LET me see it,"
said Mr.. G. They then pointed to a
white hobby horse which Mr.. Wagner
had in an upper window and said,
"There be is" Mr.. G. did not buy the
horse, but adjourned with his victim
izers to the nearest lemonade stand,
where he paid for the refreshments.

DOUBLE MURDER
Deputy Marshal Kills Bis Wife, and
Then Suicides by Blowing Out
His Brains.

A Deputy Marshal Kills BIS WIFE, ana
Then Suicides by Blowing Out
His Brains.
A few days ago Deputy United States
Marshal Stakes, of Garlic, was in at
tendance at the federal court here, and
when his duties concluded he returned
home. He and his wife were living to-
gether, but discord reigned in the home
stead, for he accused her of being I'M
faithful. and she recriminated by charg-
ing him with criminal intimacy with
their own l9-year-old daughter. On
their return there WAS further quarrel
ing, but the difference was apparently
made up. Yesterday he, his wife and
daughter went for picnic in the woods,
about two miles out, and whilst there
another dispute occurred between the
husband and wife, during which he
seized his Winchester, fired at his wife,
killed her instantly, and then, placing
the Winchester to his own head, he
blew out his brains. The suspected
daughter, who witnessed the tragedy,
ran for her life to the city and raised an
alarm, but, when found, the husband
and wife lay 30 yards apart, and both
were dead. An inquest was held and a
verdict returned in accordance with the
facts.

The Local Bar Endorse Willie.

The San Antonio Bar met yesterday.
The Hon. A. w. Houston presiding, and
on motion of Judge Waelder, endorsed
the Hon. Asa H. Willie, chief justice on
the supreme bench for appointment,
vice Judge Woods, and decided to me-
mOualiZe President Cleveland with the
view of effecting the desired end.
Judge Willie is receiving similar en-
dorsements all over the state and is
generally regarded AS competent man
for the position. His chances are said
to be good, provided Attorney General
Garland does not want to retire via the
iudgeship, which is suspected.

FRUIT AS MEDICINE.

1t is a mistaken idea that no fruit
should be eaten at breakfast. 1t
would be far better if our people
would eat less bacon and grease at
breakfast and more fruit. In the
morning there is an acid state of the
secretions, and nothing is so we'll
calculated to correct this as cooling
sub-acid fruits, such as peaches, APP
piles, etc. Still most of us have been
taught that eating fruit before
breakfast is highly dangerous. How
the idea originated | do not know,
but it is certainly a great error, con-
trary to both reason and facts.
The apple is one Of best of fruits.
Baked or stewed apples will gener-
ally agree with the most delicate
stomach and are an excellent medi-
cine in many cases Of sickness.
Green OF half-ripened apples stewed
or sweetened are pleasant to the
taste, cooling, nourishing and laxa-
tive, far superior in many cases to
the abominabIe doses of salts and
oil usually given in fever and
other diseases. Raw apples and
dried apples stewed are better for
constipation than liver pills. The
small seeded fruits, such as black
berries, figs, raspberries, currants
and Strawberries, may be classed
among the best foods and medicines.
The sugar in them is nutritious and
the acid is cooling and purifying
and the seeds are laxative.-HnWs

~OVER-FEEDING FOWLS:

Some people think if a certain
quantity of feed will keep an animal
in good condition, twice as much
will keep the animal twice as we'll.
Now this is a grave mistake, for
when an animal gets too much feed,
it suffers Immediately. Many ofthe
diseases that fowls are subject to
come from overlooking. A fowl
that is stuffed with food does not
digest it properly. The digestive
organs become weak, and disease
follows, foremost among them being
the dreaded cholera. This is simply
a fever caused chiefly by indigestion.
When a fowl becomes fat from over
feeding, the blood is poisoned and
the system becomes disordered.
One sick bird poisons another and
the disease spreads.

THE IT'LL YEAR.

- 4 f'GauI.r
A pretty boy with tumbled curls,
And dimples soft in either cheek,
Who lays his finger on his lip,
And looks at me and does not speak,
But smiles with eyes serene and sweet
To see me kneeling at his feet.
A little prince who needs no crown
To show him lord of all the earth,
Who comes, unbidden, to my door,
And sits beside the silent hearth,
Two wings beneath his tunic gay,
Wherewith some night to fly away.
A royal child, with that to give
Which | am fain to know and see,
Who shakes a soft, unconscious head
When | implore on Bonded knee, .
And will not loose to silver speech
His lips, close curving each to each.
A stranger, in whose dimpled hand
Half fearfuily my own lay,
Nor know where | must walk, until
His baby footsteps lead the way.
And yet | needs must hold him dear
Times youngest born, the little year.

Some Bashf'ul BridegrOOms.

A justice Of the peace in Saratoga
county recently joined q pair who
were SO embarrassed they hardly
knew what they were doing. The man
wore a white straw hat which he twirl-
ed on his finger before the ceremony
began. When told to stand up he
jumped before the justice with the
greatest alacrity. For few moments
he did not know what to do with the
hat, but finally found his way out OF
the difficulty by putting it between
his knees. This was too much for the
bride. With the handle OF her para
sol she caught the hat, pulled it from
its position, and then. abashed at her
audacity, dropped hat and parasolt to
the floor.
The same justice tells story of an
other couple who came to be married,
The man was dreadfully puzzled, and.
without realizing the act, pulled g.
cigar from his pocket and began twirl-
ing it around. When that portion of
the ceremony was reached where bride
and groom join hands he happened to
have the cigar IN his right hand.
What to do with the cigar he appar.
emily did not know. The Justice
paused minute and then again d.
rected the couple to join hands. By
this time the poor fellows embarrass-
ment was painful. He gave one
agonized LOOK at the justice of the
peace and stuck the cigar in his
mouth. Before the ceremony could
be concluded tho justice had to take
the cigar from between the mans lips.

Invading the AristOcratic Quar-
ter.

The banner OF the almighty dollar
advances steadily up Fifth avenue.
says the New York Graphic. 1t will
not be many years befor|the big Van
derbilt mansions. with their carved
portieres and their square box-like
and richly built ugliness, will find
about and around them the stores OF
busy merchants, and the deep, white
cathedral will catch within it's high
rooted walls the hum of outside buy
erys and sellers just as do the churches
In older and moro populous lands. A
walk up the avenue shows how fast
the great change goes on. The Astor
block OF homes stands like a rock
against the onward current of trade,
yet on the corner beside it a wine shop
has been carved out OF a brown-stone
mansion, and the signs, with big blaz-
ing letters, tell the price of the liquors
and stare impudently into the second
story windows OF the aristocratic
mansion of the descendants
OF the old fur merchant. Above
oAo 0oGOI nOuScSs Ou tIlo Shulo Sue Oh
the street, is the lonely, silent white
building that was once the residence
OF A. T. Stewart. 1t would be a
blessing to break the massive house
into stores, and it would be g. fitting
and perhaps logical ending to the
sad memories that cling about it's
empty, shutterless windows. Like the
Astors, this house has stood in the
way Of the busy, ambitious merchants
but they have passed it by, and by
the end of next month a. store built
up with plebeian brick and ordinary
mortar will be right up against it's
north line, will shut out half the view
up the avenue, and will swing it's signs
in the pale face OF the marble edifce.
1t is the same story one learns all
along the wide avenue.-the earnest,
nlmble dollar brakeman has taken
possession Of it, and our aristocrats
OF to.day-the children of the peddlers
OF generation aegean save them
selves from daily contact with bust
ness surroundings only by flight to
the outer edge Of the island.
